Data Engineer

Ask any employee to explain their benefits, and you'll likely get a confused shrug. Ask any HR leader if their benefits investment is working, and you'll get an honest "I don't know." For employees, benefits are confusing and overwhelming. For HR and finance leaders, benefits are the second-largest expense, but they lack the visibility to know what's working and what's wasted.

At Avante, we're changing that. We're the first AI-native benefits platform built to turn benefits complexity into clarity. For employees, Avante acts like a personal guide, making benefits simple to understand and use. For leaders, Avante unifies fragmented data and delivers real-time insights so they can improve programs, control costs, and prove ROI.

We're based in Seattle and work 4 days a week in the office (one day remote), we’re growing quickly, and are looking for a data engineer who can build and maintain the pipelines and infrastructure that power our AI systems and internal analysis. You'll work across the full data lifecycle - from ingestion and transformation to model deployment and monitoring - while using modern AI-assisted development tools to accelerate your work. This is a hands-on role for someone who cares about building reliable, well-documented systems and wants to work at the intersection of data engineering, MLOps, and applied AI.
